Bathroom Organizer Tool

Problem: A Homeless shower Puff ball.

Solution: use an extra curtain rod ring as the holder.

 [I just left it open so we could slip the puff ball in & out].

"Try Me" Lotions

The stores have "Try Me" lotions so I wanted to do that same thing for our guest bathroom. 

I found this container (at Goodwill for $1.00) to hold different lotions.

This one of [my favorite things]!

Hair Accessory Wall Mount

After lots of thinking, I finally figured out what could hold all my hair accessories and scarves in one place.

My How To:

I started with ruff fence wood(WRC Flat Top 5/8"x5 1/2"x6' @ Home Depot). Its really light weight compared to pine or other wood. I cut the boards to fit on my wall(32" long). Then painted and sanded them.

Nail all the plank boards together with 2 pieces of wood on the back side.

Attach the "hardware" onto the front. (top left) bars are magnetic. They are used for tools but I got them for half price(Harbor Freight), cup hooks in the middle, (top right) are fence post brackets I found at a second hand building store(Restore)for only $0.25 each, (bottom) is a curtain rod from Walmart that I spray painted brown.

Hair Clips on the magnetic bars.

 Headbands on the cup hooks and fence post brackets.

ToothBrush Organizer

I found this ToothBrush Organizer idea here & it is GENIUS!

I found this utensil drawer organizer at the second hand store(Goodwill) for only $0.69. Then I added the kids' names in vinyl.

It fits perfectly in the drawer and now they have no excuse to Brush their teeth!

Kids "Daily Duties" Board

Pretty soon we will have to get back into the swing of things with school starting. The paper chore charts we have done in the past have not worked out so I thought I might change and try something new.

I built these boards(13"x13") with plywood and beadboard and attached some 12"x12" magnet boards with E6000 glue.

Adhere the vinyl.

For the "duties" I used the glass pebbles, paper & mini magnets.

My Organized CookBooks

After many months of looking at my Cookbooks in three different places I finally had time to fix that problem.

Here is the cabinet I'm going to use that is in our dining room.

My many cookbooks.

I measured the cabinet and cut the wood accordingly to fit.

Finish off the edges with thin wood (lathing).

To hold up the ends I just used some 2x4's until I can build some bookcases to go underneath.

 the Finished project. I reused some of my wire baskets for the magazines. The hard bound books are stacked on the shelf in the cabinet. The daily binders are in the kitchen cabinets.

{Bead} Containers

Walmart does it again. I love using a product because its good then use the container for another use.


Walmart has these great dressings in a square bottle.


I RECYCLED the container to use for my bead storage.
Now I just have to keep eating my salads-only 10 more to go. . .

My Computer {Desk}

I love my Computer Desk.

I got it a few years back and just added my personal touch to it.


I took an inexpensive computer table. I cut a piece of sanded plywood for the top and bought scrapbook paper for the shelves. [The shelves have needed some patchin' up].


Take the Mod Podge Glue and brush on a good layer to desk surface.


Lay the scrapbook paper down and brush on another good layer.


When it is dry use an exacto knife to cut off the excess.

Medicine Organizer

Since this month I'm dedicating time to organize more around the house. . .
I knew this closet(which holds meds/cleaning supplies/extra toiletries) needed it!


[the BEFORE]


I found this system at Walmart to hang on the door for all the medicines. I was so excited and then realized it didn't fit on my door.


So I found this shower organizer(at BedBath&Beyond) to hang from the door. Since it didn't have much space I had to limit the medicines to the mostly used ones.


I had to cut a piece of wood for both shelves so the medicines don't fall through the wire shelving. To the top of the unfinished wood I added a piece of contact paper-just in case any meds spill.

[the AFTER] Pin It

Containing the {Glitter}

I was emptying some spice containers & before I threw them away, I realized they would make perfect GLITTER containers. Recycling is Great.


I used these 1/2 size spice containers.


I covered the outside with scrapbook paper of what color glitter it will hold (I love the shaker holes in the lid).


I sprayed painted the lids black. I think they look a little bit better. What'd ya think?
Now its time to Create! Pin It

Kids Craft Closet

I am one of the art moms in my daughters 4th grade class. As I was looking in the supply closet it felt so peaceful I think because it was organized! I knew I had to do something with the kids' craft closet at home. I was inspired!


This is the Kids' Craft Closet(just an entertainment center).


What a Mess!


In the process. . . did that all really fit??


I labeled everything. The containers on the right were from the dollar store(DollarTree).


All Done! Pin It

Multi-Use Container

Our kids drink juice like water running out of a faucet. So I like to keep some on hand all the time. [Although with all the cavities that the Dentist found, they have to brush right afterwards].
I like using the drink power found at Walmart to mix with my real fruit juice that I can during the summer months. It helps things go further but also is more healthy.


This is Walmart's NEW Drink Powder Container. I am lovin' it.


It unwraps easily & can be used for many things. I put some markers in there. They fit perfectly! Pin It

Inspiration Wall Board

Now that the kids are back in school, I can create using some of my inspirations from my Inspiration Wall Board.


This was suppose to be the door for our Pantry, but it was too heavy to hang so I now use it in my craft room for ideas that inspire me to CREATE!


Its just an old door with glued on magnetic sheeting propped up against the wall. I used magnets to hang the papers/ideas. Pin It
